Women in the Paris CommuneAgainst The Current vol. 153

During the Seige of Paris, women organized their own Vigilance Committee in Montmartre, the political center of the working class. La Révolution politique et sociale devoted a major portion of its pages to reporting on the Vigilance Committee and a variety of womens clubs and societies. This included the Union des Femmes, the womens union that was a section of the First International.
